Happiness Comes In Many Forms |MegOp|

Beyond Our Time

【Optimus Prime's POV】

Me and Team Prime started walking towards the energon signal. We were going slowly, just to make sure there isn't any vehicons at the signal. I suddenly felt pain in my helm, I quickly put my servos up to it, but as I did that, it left as quickly as it came.

Arcee asked, "are you okay Optimus?" I nodded, and we continued towards the signal. Bumblebee kept giving me concerned looks, as if he knows something just isn't right. I knew we were going to end up having a chat directly after this mission with his concerns for my health.

We've noticed recently that I've been having helm aches off and on for the past week, yet I haven't found anything that explains why. They get worse especially around Megatron, which he tends to take advantage of.

I was starting to think about it, but yet I couldn't find anything that made sense except for...never mind, I doubt it could be that. We got to the signal, we saw what looked to be a huge energon mine in Decepticon hands.

There was Starscream, Soundwave and...Megatron. The moment I saw him, my helm started hurting again, I put my servos up to my helm, the pain worsening.

I quickly went down to my knees as quietly as I could. I was hidden within Earth's shrubbery so they wouldn't see me there. I quickly whispered to the others, "fight them for me, I'm afraid my helm is aching again."

Bumblebee asked, *again? This has been happening repeatedly since that fight with Megatron a week ago Optimus! I'm getting you checked out with Ratchet for sure this time!*

I didn't know what to say, but I can't deny getting checked out anymore. I have a feeling Ratchet is going to hell at me for not going to him the moment I felt it.

They quickly went to battle, I watched from the shrubbery. I could see that they were getting beaten up badly by Megatron, a sense of helplessness filled me because I couldn't help them with this aching pain and I couldn't even stop him even if I did try.

Megatron kicked Bulkhead away from him. He was flung into the stone and cracked it. Megatron spoke, "you will be sorely missed." He started up his fusion cannon.

I knew that I had to risk it now, I had to go and fight him even though I will be in severe pain. I charged towards Megatron and transformed my servos into blades, I tried to hit him but he dodged.

He kicked me away, I groaned in pain, but continued on, I cut at his arm which led to him grabbing my shoulder and shoving me into the ground, I vented abruptly.

He pointed the fusion cannon at my face, "well Optimus, this is farewell I suppose?" He chuckled darkly at the end. Arcee kicked and punched him when he didn't realise she was back up.

He punched her and sent her flinging away. I got up quickly, my helm still aching. I went back at Megatron, I got some successful cuts at his metal and a stab.

Megatron eventually retreated with Starscream and Soundwave. I vented heavily, my body feeling weak so suddenly, I collapsed to the ground, feeling my optics getting heavy I closed them.

I had started to dream, it was a beautiful night in the dream, the stars were out, and it looked like I was back on Cybertron. Right beside me was Megatron.

His optics were still their blue colour, before he had became evil. I remember this, we used to love stargazing, usually pointing out which star was which. I loved it, he loved how I knew so much about the stars.
